Fair enough, maybe work will be a good distraction. You're nervous, understandably so at that the rest of the day will be as normal as possible.

Hope you have a good day and the session goes well. I will check back later to see how you went.

You'll be fine. It will just be talking to someone. It may take a few visits before you feel comfortable. Let me know how you go.

Jackson, how did it go today?

Hey CMF

It was ok, it was just with an intake worker so they could assess where I'm at, my goals, who can best support me etc.

I got there pretty early, almost had an anxiety attack while waiting. But I made it.

Good to hear you got through it. I have a habit of arriving early to appointments also and then sitting making myself anxious while i wait. So do you have another appointment soon? Did they give yo feedback on the assessment?

Yeah I have another appointment in a week. They want me to see the psychologist that works there, which I knew would be the case. By the sounds of it they seem to be good at sort of like creating teams for people, as in I'll see a psychologist each week but there will be other people looking out for me too, like the intake worker I saw today will continue to have a say in my treatment and help me with continuing to attend appointments etc so yeah I think it went ok.

That's great Jackson, I'm really happy to hear that. Yes it does sound well organised. It's good that you have weekly appointments, there would be nothing worse then having to wait weeks between appointments like some do. You know you can print out your posts on here if it makes it easier for you ie if you feel nervous about talking to the psych or you may feel ok and then not sure what to say. If you are feeling ok when you have your appointment showing some of your posts here will help give them an idea of what you have been going through.

Yeah that's good idea thanks CMF

Work was ok too, no major dramas there.

I went to see Mum and everyone tonight, my step dad and I had an argument and I feel pretty shit over it, oh man
